The creators of the podcast New Heads for New People join us and give a set of rules.

We take our characters from being helplessly upside down to day dreaming of a hot cup of tea. As always we coincidentally write in the same location.

New Rules for New People

There are two things that can capture anyone's imagination: Dragons... and high-class restaurants. This week we write about both, and as always, we do it in 15 minutes.

Sometimes we’re late, often we’re pressed for time, and this week on The Rules we must write about both. Adam writes a story about a publicity stunt, Philip writes about a man chasing his dreams, and they both have a ton of fun doing it.

This week Adam writes dialogue, and Philip has to write the scene around it. There's talk of pirates, nurses, and minions, but the final story is a little darker....

This week Adam and Phil get the rules from Dave: a new member of The Rules team. After brainstorming, they decide to write about the same thing.

A haunted house.

A man goes to buy a van and what happens next will shock and amaze you….

Philip puts Adam’s story writing skills to the test when he asks him to finish his incomplete story, and we get to see the contrast of their creative process.

Adam brings in three sounds as writing prompts. Prepare your ears, minds, and imaginations for a wild ride. From a PI’s investigation - which is about to take a bizarre turn - to a frog having either a very lucky or unlucky day, there is something here for everyone.

What better way to start our first official season than with Superheros on a budget. Listen as Adam reflects on college, Philip goes on the open road, and both brainstorm and write stories we hope you love.

A fiddle playing man in a wheelbarrow? A cellist with a bounty on his head? Sounds like The Rules to me. Adam and Philip finally write a western, work on their voice acting, and laugh at their own jokes way more than they should.

DISCLAIMER: In the outro Phil says that all the music was done by Adam, but that simply isn't true. All of the wonderful fiddle sounds you hear were done by our friend Lindsay.

From a short staffed tech store to a tightrope tournament: we explore the challenges that come with new experiences. Adam employs the help of a friend to recount a tale of his days in retail, and Philip writes a story about pushing yourself that extra little bit.
